Congressman Questions Lack Of DNA Collection In Immigrant Murder Case

Republican Maryland Rep. Andy Harris

Republican Maryland Rep. Andy Harris has raised concerns over the failure to collect a DNA sample from an illegal immigrant suspect charged in the murder of Rachel Morin. Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five, was tragically killed on the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland, in August 2023.

Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, a 23-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was arrested in connection with Morin's murder.
